Dear Senators and Representatives:
There is no doubt that the public wants real Net Neutrality. Right now, the Federal Communications Commission is on the brink of fixing a decade of bad policies and preventing ISPs from discriminating online.
In short: Let the FCC do its job. By reclassifying Internet-access service under Title II of the Communications Act, the FCC can protect Internet users from online discrimination and blocking. Any other approach will fall short.
Don't put the public in the slow lane. Protect real Net Neutrality now.
Thank you,
" The most important FCC vote of our lifetime is about to happen.
"On Feb 26 the FCC will vote to save net neutrality or let Comcast and other ISPs create Internet slow lanes. Some members of Congress, on behalf of their Cable donors, are trying to stop the FCC from protecting the Internet we love. There isn't much time to stop them, contact them now.
Internet users: Spread the word.
"Telling everyone about the vote is a key part of winning real net neutrality. We need your help to do just that. If you use twitter, click "Join with Twitter" below, and you can sign up to tweet once a day from now until the vote, or just once right before the vote. It's your choice. If you don't have twitter, then sign up with your email and we'll send you a list of different ways you can help.
BTTT!
WT...huh?
What we need is the federal government to regulate and control an industry so that the free market does not?
If it is so great why is the FCC so afraid to release the details to the public so the public can review and decide for themselves?
Allow the FCC to misapply regulations from the early days of telephone to resolve a problem that doesn’t exist, and relies upon widespread misunderstanding of how each the Internet and finances work in order to spread fear.
What the hell is this. A FReeper pushing for government take over of the internet?
Has an account been hacked?
Free Republic would be high on the list to be “nuetralized”.
Get this crap off these pages please.
if you like your internet you can...
Well it was fun while it lasted FRiends!
Maybe we’ll communicate via short wave radio or something...
AGree....I mistakingly thought this was a different letter (to send to our Reps.)
This needs to be removed.
The first thing this will do is give government more things to tax, and people will pay special fees to help subsidize the “poor” getting high-speed internet too.
If the obongo administration is pushing it, if george soros spent over $196 million promoting it, Ted Cruz is fighting it and the FCC refuses to give details..... it has to be in our best interests right?
Thank you...I thought maybe I had logged on to HuffPoo by mistake.
Soros, Ford shovel $196 million to 'net neutrality' groups, staff to White House
Although the author is too kind by far in his description of Soros:
Liberal philanthropist George Soros ...
Who, as we all know, is a fascist, nation-wrecking criminal profiteer who doesn't give a dime to any cause that he doesn't expect a 1000% profit from down the road.
Are you a raving lunatic?
Protect the freedom of the internet by bringing it under government regulation???
Have you paid attention to anything the last 50 years?
short wave radio
That’s already regulated. The government owns the airways. That’s one reason they went from analog to digital regarding cable TV. It free up more of the spectrum for the government to “rent out” to cell phone companies and others.
Don’t you need an FCC license for shortwave broadcasting? Or am I thinking of something else?
